Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Beaten Up by a Little Girl
"Qingqing." Li Huan subconsciously grabbed Su Qing’s hand, her voice trembling. "This alley is a shortcut, but there’s no one here right now." The sound of the two men’s footsteps seemed to be getting faster, and her heart leaped into her throat. ’Are we really this unlucky? Are those two men coming for us?’
"It’s okay." Su Qing knew Li Huan was scared, so she quickly reassured her. "I’m here. You take this bag. It’s the pastries for Grandma and Grandpa. Don’t damage them."
"Okay." Su Qing’s words instantly put Li Huan at ease. Remembering the clean shoulder throw Su Qing had used on Song Yutian, she took a deep breath. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect the bag."
Su Qing smiled at Li Huan, then stopped and turned to face the two men who were walking quickly toward them.
The two men didn’t expect the girls to notice they were being followed. They were even more surprised that instead of running, the girls actually had the guts to stop and wait for them. They were momentarily stunned. In all their time in this line of work, this was the first time they had ever encountered girls this bold.
"You’ve been following us for a while. What do you want? Spit it out. Stop skulking around like sneaky rats, it’s pathetic. You don’t look like men at all." Su Qing narrowed her eyes at the two men before her.
Standing to the side, Li Huan’s eyes went wide when she heard Su Qing’s words. ’Holy cow, Qingqing, do you have any idea you’re absolutely humiliating them?’
’What man would want to be called a sneaky rat? And to top it off, she said they weren’t even men...’
"Well now, this bitch has a real sharp tongue, doesn’t she? Bro, let’s go. Let’s teach this girl a lesson about who she’s messing with. Let’s make it quick." As expected, one of the men was provoked. He shot Su Qing a vicious glare. ’Such a pretty girl, ruined by that mouth of hers. I have to teach her a good lesson. She needs to learn that her mouth will get her into trouble.’
The other man’s expression was even more sullen. Without a word, he lunged straight at Su Qing, his fingers bent into a claw, aimed right for her. His movement was so fast it actually stirred up a gust of wind.
This man knew martial arts.
Seeing the man’s incredible speed, Li Huan was terrified and quickly shouted, "Qingqing, be careful!"
Su Qing sneered. Her superpower surged silently within her as she formed a hand-chop and brought it down hard on the man’s outstretched arm.
CRACK!
It was the faint sound of a bone fracturing.
"AHH—" The man never would have dreamed that his pride-and-joy body-hardening skills would fail to withstand even a single move from this girl. The moment her hand struck his wrist, all he felt was a searing pain. Before he could even process it, he had already been thrown violently to the ground.
His face made intimate contact with the ground, and the sharp pain in his nose, in particular, brought tears to his eyes.
"Holy shit!"
The man who had been talking just a moment ago stared with wide eyes. He immediately spun around and ran for it. ’I’m the one in trouble now,’ he thought.
Su Qing planted her foot on the back of the man on the ground, pinning him down just as he was about to get up. Then, she casually picked up a rock and threw it at the fleeing man.
THUD.
The rock slammed into the back of the man’s knee. His legs buckled, and he fell hard to the ground. He was stunned. He hadn’t been close to the girl, yet she had still managed to take him down. ’Does she know how to use hidden weapons or something?’
’Damn it, what kind of badass did we mess with? Shit, don’t they investigate their targets before making a move?’
At that moment, the man cursed the person who gave them this job. If they had investigated beforehand and known how formidable this damn girl was, he wouldn’t have come even if it killed him.
With that thought, he gritted his teeth against the pain in his knee, scrambled back up, and tried to keep running with a limp. He had to get away, get out of here.
THUD.
Another heavy fall.
The man once again slammed hard onto the ground.
"Miss, stop throwing things! Please, stop! I won’t run anymore!" the man shouted, on the verge of tears. "If you hit me again, my leg’s going to break!"
"What’s going on? What happened?"
The two men’s pained cries had alerted the people living in the alley. In no time, several people ran out of their courtyards. The first thing they saw was two men lying on the ground, one of whom was being pinned down by a girl’s foot on his back.
"Aunts, uncles, everyone! These two men were following us! They were trying to kidnap us!" Seeing that a crowd had gathered, Li Huan quickly spoke up.
Su Qing had taken down the two men so cleanly and efficiently that Li Huan’s courage surged. She pointed at the two men on the ground and accused them in front of the surrounding crowd.
"Oh my, two grown men following two young girls? You don’t have to be a genius to figure out what they were up to. People like that are disgusting."
"Exactly! People like them should be sent to the police station! Let the police deal with them."
"That’s right."
...
After hearing Li Huan’s words, the surrounding crowd started chattering and cursing at the two men on the ground. One person, still not satisfied, even went back home to grab a few rotten vegetable leaves and threw them at the men.
A few men, filled with a sense of justice, stepped forward and restrained the two thugs. They said to Su Qing and Li Huan, "Miss, these two need to be taken to the police station."
"Thank you, then." Su Qing didn’t refuse their kind offer.
When the man Su Qing had been pinning down was hauled to his feet, the crowd saw the two streams of blood running from his nose. He looked dazed and groggy. Their gazes toward Su Qing changed. ’Damn, this girl is something else. She beat him up this badly.’
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Su Qing just gave a faint smile and said nothing.
It had to be said, people of this era were very warm-hearted. Soon, the two men were apprehended and taken to the nearby police station. As for escaping, neither of them even considered it. They knew deep down that with Su Qing around, running was impossible.
"This is..." Seeing two incredibly disheveled men being escorted in by a group of people, the officer at the reception desk quickly stood up. "What’s the situation here?"
"Officer, we want to file a report! These two men were trying to rob these two young ladies!" an enthusiastic uncle said, being the first to speak to the officer.
’So they’re robbers.’
The officer’s expression turned serious. He said to the men who had escorted them, "Thank you for protecting these two girls."
In the officer’s eyes, these two robbers had tried to mug two defenseless girls and were stopped by these passersby who were brimming with a sense of justice.
"No, no." The uncle heard this and quickly waved his hands. "We didn’t do anything. We just helped bring them in. We didn’t beat them up. This young lady did."
"What!" The officer was stunned and his gaze immediately shot toward Su Qing.
